Our thoughts and prayers go out to Springlake-Earth ISD over the loss of Rexee Jackson, a freshman at SEHS. Jackson was a varsity cheerleader, a member of the cross country team and the basketball team. Jackson and her mom, Tammie Jackson were both killed in a tragic accident on Monday, October 5. Mrs. Jackson was an SEHS graduate and a member of the S-E Booster Club. Raymond Ramirez of Olton was also killed in the accident. Again, our thoughts and prayers to the communities of Springlake-Earth and Olton over the loss of these community members.
